[Intro: Mavado - Definition Of A Gangster]

Being a gangster

Is more than just an image

It is a mindset

A true gangster lives by these principles

We honour our elders

Protect our women and children

And respect the innocent

A true gangster's main focus is money

[Verse 1]

Yo, every year I keep levelling up

When it comes down to getting shit done, my ting's second to none

I just copped my dream car and a house on the hill, even though I look lucky I never had luck

More like put luck in reverse

I've been living my life feeling cursed

Yeah my feet in the dirt

I put my family first

All my family kept putting me last, I can't lie that shit hurt

Fuck a this that and the third, I don't cap when I rap, I talk facts, I'm a man of my word

My bird is more gangster than most of the mandem and that's why I'm throwing them racks in her purse

The label just paid forty bags for a verse

I gave them eight bars, that's a thousand a word

My opp's line does like a thousand a week and I just got paid that for rapping a word

They ain't on my level

Spent quarter mill on this chain and this kettle

My jewels are rose gold, their jewels are copper so we're not the same, we don't rock the same metal

While we're talking prices on Charlie and weed then I cannot be beat like the bass and the treble

My weed is buy a pack, get one for free and the coke's still cheaper than Pepsi and Red Bull

My ting is separate

Looking back on shit, I was too generous

I had my workers on six figure salaries

But still they're so ungrateful, I wish I paid less then

I wish I knew that them snakes would turn venomous

Fuck what you heard, I'm a clean hearted gentleman

Give me a brick and I'll ship in the Mexicans

Sit back and watch how I kill it and get it

You ain't getting dough, you're irrelevant

Five car convoy, I move like the president

You're not involved blud, you're just a civilian

We're from the same manor but you're just a resident

I'm the UK Gangster version of Eminem

I'm one of the realest and that shit is evident

LV bag for the bricks, Gucci pouch for my gun

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

[Bridge]

Gangster, gangster

Gangster, gangster

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

Gangster, gangster

Gangster, gangster

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

Gangster, gangster

Gangster, gangster

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

LV bag for the bricks, Gucci pouch for my gun

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

[Chorus]

My mother don't worry about me 'cause she raised a gangster

I'm a survivor

My mother don't worry about me 'cause she raised a gangster

I'm a survivor

My mother don't worry about me 'cause she raised a gangster

I'm a survivor

If they wanna hate that's a minor

Let them hate, watch the money pile up

[Verse 2]

Morrisson

The old bill just raided a bando and found ten bricks in the safe with a burner

I just shed a tear cah the old bill just locked up my favourite worker

The road ting's nuttin but stress, now I'm started to regret I chose a life of crime

And if I can go back and start all over again then I'd probably just settle for a 9 to 5

It's hard to find love in these heartless times

It's hard to find light in your darkest times

Why do all the fake ones have it so easy and all the real ones live the hardest lives?

I'm on the M-Way with work in a work van in the slow lane just blending in

If shit goes left that's a high speed police chase and they're feeding me for the next six years

And if you wanna kill me then join the queue

Three things I hate; the feds, the police and the boys in blue

The boys in blue have been my number one opp for so long that I'm starting to feel like a Blood

My brother got killed but I know he's still with me, I feel him all around me and I feel him above

Trapping ain't dead but I'm sick of this stuff

I'm sick of having Old Bill spinning my drum

I'm sick of sharing wins with entitled friends

When it's time to share a L they all ditch me and run and abandon my ship

Run off and jump on another man's dick, chih

And that shit might've broken my heart but it fixed my vision, now my vision's so clear like the ocean water in the Maldives islands

I feel like a Mali when all these lines ring

If it weren't for the cats that snort this white ting

I wouldn't be covered in all these diamonds

I wouldn't be driving this Lambo truck

And I wouldn't be living in a house so large

And I wouldn't have people always telling me I'm lucky when they say me even though I never had no luck

[Bridge]

Gangster, gangster

Gangster, gangster

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

Gangster, gangster

Gangster, gangster

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

Gangster, gangster

Gangster, gangster

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

LV bag for the bricks, Gucci pouch for my gun

I'm a stylish gangster with elegance

[Chorus]

My mother don't worry about me 'cause she raised a gangster

I'm a survivor

My mother don't worry about me 'cause she raised a gangster

I'm a survivor

My mother don't worry about me 'cause she raised a gangster

I'm a survivor

If they wanna hate that's a minor

Let them hate, watch the money pile up

[Outro: Mavado - Definition Of A Gangster]

Money without respect in our business

Equals death
